Hi tutor,
I am trying to locate the first blank line in the first received packet
when pinging an internet server using a socket object.
My assumption is there will be a mandatory blank line right after the
http headers in accordance with the http protocol.
Consider the following:
import socket
mysock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
mysock.connect( ('www.py4inf.com/code/', 80) )
mysock.send('GET http://www.py4inf.com/code/' + ' HTTP/1.0\n\n')
data_str = mysock.recv(700)
My question:
Why is the following statement False when there is an actual blank line
in the received packet:
'\n\n' in data
The statement 'any_string in data' works fine with any character except
the double line drop i.e. '\n\n'.
Attached full script for your consideration.
Thanks in advance for your guidance,
Marc
